Has the Bush Administration Turned the Corner on Illegal Immigration?
From today’s New York Times:
The criminal charges against Mr. Garcia and his company were broughtby the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, part of the Department of Homeland Security. The campaign has included at least five other federal indictments of business executives in Ohio and Kentucky and has sent payroll managers rushing to re-examine their workers’ papers and rethink plans for their work force.
It also created a new environment of fear in Ohio’s immigrant communities.
“It’s a very uneasy feeling,” said Sister Teresa Ann Wolf, a Roman Catholic nun who works with immigrant workers in Canton, Ohio. “People are afraid to leave the house to go to the store. They are afraid to come to church.”
It is an interesting piece. But to me, unconvincing. I still believe the political class as a whole is very unserious about this issue.
